Granite School District lists $94 million in capital requests; TNT schedule rules will shape levy discussion
Summary
Administrators reported more than $94 million in requested capital projects and explained Truth-in-Taxation (TNT) process requirements, including a new 'property tax impact schedule' districts must prepare when proposing levies.
District staff told the council that property tax is the primary funding source for capital builds and improvements and described a process to prioritize 'worst first' projects.
Todd Hauber said the district has "over $94 million in requested projects" compiled from administrator and maintenance requests and described a revised capital process and prioritization approach. Staff also outlined TNT procedural requirements the district must meet before proposing any property-tax increase, including public meeting statements about the approximate dollar amount and purpose of additional revenue, percentage changes for taxpayers, and a property tax impact schedule that details department-level budget impacts and operational consequences.
Hauber suggested schools and parent organizations pursue grants and fundraising for specific projects and noted some capital work could be advanced as pay-as-you-go if funds are available. The district materials urged staff to prepare the required schedules and public notices if a tentative budget includes a proposed tax rate change.
